OTAN Professional Development Community

This is an introductory course set-up to help practitioners develop a site plan for offering distance or blended learning to the adult learners.  It is also a prerequisite for IDEAL 102: Instructional Issues or IDEAL Program Administration.

This course is for use by the OTAN subject matter experts (SME) for office documentation, policy information and more.All OTAN SME's should enroll in this course - it will be one way to communicate with the entire team. 

Outreach and Technical Assistance Network (OTAN) has a long history of providing professional development, resource and technical support to adult education agencies and educators for over 30 years. Services provided include online workshops and face-to-face training in promising practices for technology integration, online and blended learning resources and training, electronic collaboration, educational resources and much more. In keeping with changing technologies, new research and advances in professional development and in an effort to ensure our adult educators have access to quality professional growth, OTAN announces a new opportunity for adult education agencies, including their administrators and teachers, through the Digital Leadership Academy (DLAC). This new program will combine OTAN's previous Academies (Technology Integration Mentoring Academy and the Online Teaching Academy) and offer the program for a full two years to ensure agencies can meet projected goals.
